Hi!
Just after a bit of advice on CPU temp's and cooling. I have a fairly newly built PC, it's on an Asus Z68 with i5 2500 and stock CPU and case fans. Can't recall the exact case model but it's a reasonable Coolermaster. The Asus mobo software gives me a warning with CPU temperature at 72/73 degrees C when under load during video encoding (using Handbrake). I assume this is higher than desirable! The PC is not used for any high-level gaming (only HL2
M at which I rock!), high def video play-back and encoding and Photoshop. I was thinking just to upgrade the stock CPU cooler? Is there anything that's generally well-regarded, will make a noticeable difference and mostly importantly cheap and easy to fit? Any advices much appreciated. (Ebuyer links would be good!)
TIA. Cheers, Simon.
